[2008] EWCA Crim 2990

A life sentence with a minimum term of 27 years imposed following a conviction for a murder committed in the course of a plan to rob the victim was reduced to 24 years where the offender was 25 years old and of previous good character, where any premeditation had been as to robbery and not to murder, and where the robbery itself was at the lower end of the scale.
